Sh*t What happened??

Should you always replace the fluid when changing discs & pads?? My cars done 20k and im replacing the front discs and pads at the weekend due to them being badly corroded on the inside Should I replace the fluid???

With your budget go for the 172CUP. You'll get a low milage minter for around 6.5k to 7k. Im sure there are a few for sale on here. Do a search as im sure someone is selling a 2003 with a/c for 7k. Folkstone I think??

Cheers for the advise mate. I Will search the net for the best price.

What are these??

I will leave well alone then!! Cheers Bought some brembo front discs from my local parts shop last night £95 the pair which I thought was a bargin. The guy told me that green stuff pads are a bit Sh**t as well. He suggested Mintex but their so expensive. I want a decent set but...

These are selling on e-bay of £39.99 Was going to go for Green stuff. How do OMP compare??

£59.00 sounds a pretty good price. Can you recommend a set of cheapish pads. Cheers

I need to purchase a set of front disk for my 17CUP but there are so many types to chooses from and im getting a bit confused. Grooved,vented & drilled.:S Does it matter what type I buy?? Im not looking to spend a lot but still want a half decent set,not really looking to spead more...

I get the same in my CUP 4K at 80mph in 5th coming from the passengers site It's so annoying because it hard to find out where the noise is coming from:mad: . I've checked the glove box & both the interior and glovebox light but still no joy:dapprove: . I wondered if it was coming...

Would look better in silver and yellow to match the door pillars.

If he's owned the car for 2 years why does he think it was serviceed in Sept. Why doesn't he know for sure?? Sounds a bit dodgy to me 4k on a car that has no receipts,no log book and the service lights on. I would leave it well alone.

Do a search mate all the info you want is already on here at least a dozen times.

Everything a consumer purchases is covered by a 12 months manufactures warranty so if they have only just sorted it out surly this would apply??

Or a fake/stolen disk. If I remember correctly its £92.50-£95 for 6 months Best get that checked out sharpish.

How much will it effect the re-sale value???

Have you used G10 ??

No mate you can't feel the them. Will I get better results using G10 with the polisher. I don't want to make it worse.

Applied one application of G10 but the scratch is still there although it does seem slightly less visible It seems to be the lacquer that is marked will I be able to remove this mark mark or am I stuck with it. Bought a polisher and was going to try it with G10 but not sure what...

ordered the G10 yesterday afternoon and its just arrived. Will give it a go in my lunch hour. Do I apply it the same as Scratch X. I hope it works.

I heard that the head gaskets on the GTI6 tend to blow a lot. Mate had one and had nothing but trouble with it.

Got some scratch X after reading some good review of the stuff of here but it does'nt seem to work as well as I thought it would. I have some small scratches on my bonnet which I think have been caused by cats claws. All the scratches are very light and it has removed some of them but I...

Sounds like the same problem you get with the clutch cable.

Re: Trophy Vs 172cup So all the write ups and reviews are wrong then and your right. Who are you the STIG.

Re: Trophy Vs 172cup A standard CUP handles like a druken race house.:S It's the best front wheel drive car I have ever driven,for the money I can't think of a better one. Im sure standard for standard the CUP would'nt be that far behind the Trophy.

Re: Trophy Vs 172cup I just find it hard to believe that they can impove that much of the 172CUP's handling.

I have never driven a Trophy but is there really that much difference handling wise between that and the original & only CUP. Are there any track time comparisons between the two.

Sorry you misunderstood me I love the look of the v6 but the mark 1 didn't get rave reviews when it came out. As I said I would buy a mark 2 tomorrow if I had the cash. Im not comparing my CUP to a MARK 1 V6 but I just think its a better car for the money. The fact that a car that...

I may have owned this car for five minutes but I've owned plenty of french cars. 2 AX gt's 2 1.9 205 GTI'S The build quality on those was far worse than my CUP and I never had to have that kind of work done. I know gear boxes/clutches & engines can go wrong but for you to go through...

No worries mate as soon as it's done I'll post a new thread.
